World Languages

The world we live in has changed tremendously and we can no longer look to just the borders of our own country for products, services and information. Language comprehension involves understanding the cultural context of the interaction. PSD World Language teachers create a learning experience for students to participate in the 5 C's of language learning:

Communication: in many forms for varied audiences
Culture: understand products and practices from a lens of cultural perspective
Connections: math conversions, reading strategies, writing skills, history, geography, art, food science, etc.
Comparisons: compare and contrast own language and culture to that of target language
Communities: use language outside of class, music stations, TV channels, DVDs, grocery stores, etc.

The seal appears on the transcript or diploma of the graduating senior and is a statement of accomplishment for future employers and for college admissions. For information about requirements, eligibility and the application, visit the
